I booked this visit for our anniversary based on the fact that I've never seen perfect scores given to ANY place on TripAdvisor.com. The whole experience, from the laid-back booking, to the actual reality, was the most sublime vacation we have ever had! It is the romantic dream come true - miles of white sand beaches, turquoise, crystal clear water,... More

Shanna's Cove is pure paradise! I wanted to share this wonderful experience in the Bahamas, this is the first time I've ever posted anything on my travels. Frank, Gabi and staff are the best! We have done the Caribbean Sandals routine for the past 4 years and wanted something different. The search took over a month attempting to find the... More

This resort is perfection personified. My mother and I spent four nights at Shanna's, looking to do absolutely nothing but sleep, eat and enjoy the sea. We did exactly that. The food was exquisite; Frank made what was probably the best steak I've ever eaten and the pizza really is as good as has been mentioned. We are born and... More

I recently had the great pleasure of spending some time with Frank and Gabi Wolff, the highly professional hosts/owners of Shannas Cove. The resort was sold out, but my wife and I had a thoroughly enjoyable dinner, at a very pleasingly reasonable price, and it was close to perfection. It may have been perfect, but I want to go back...

It was exactly the utopian setting that I had hoped for! The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the setting was superb. I was a little concerned about going to such a romantic and beautiful setting on my own but everyone made me feel very comfortable and welcome. Frank and Gabi have really created a piece of heaven...

My husband and I stayed at Shannas Cove Resort for 6 nights in March. It was *exactly* the vacation we were hoping for! This is the place for you if you enjoy a tropical vacation that is remote, secluded and very low-key. The owners Frank and Gabi truly have created a magical, unique place, based on their own years of... More

My wife and I found Shanna's Cove on TripAdvisor last fall, looking for a first trip after I retired at the end of Feb 2012. We arrived on Cat Island on Feb 24th and stayed for 16 days, which I believe is the longest any guest has ever stayed at this property. We loved every minute of it, so where... More

This was the kind of place that you hate to leave, think about often and can't wait to come back to! Very relaxed atmosphere, excellent dining and wine choices and miles of deserted beaches. The bungalows were clean and comfortable. My favourite day was when we hiked to the Man o War beach. It was so isolated and breathtakingly beautiful... More

I sailed into Cat Island (kind of by accident) 25 years ago with an old boyfriend. It was the most magical place I had even been to. We, of course, stayed on the sailboat, but enjoyed several meals on the beach at waters edge and a few drinks at the (then) "honors" bar. We also bought a few groceries from... More

Every review you've read is legit! My wife and I visited this gem and couldn't be happier. Great, secluded beaches, great food and scenery. What we enjoyed the most is we did things at our own pace with no disruption. Frank and Gabi are incredible and the staff is just as great. Everything is done with the honor system which... More
